Has anyone used this with MMF on a chilled cake (to keep crisp corners)?

I only work with chilled cakes and I only use home made MMF and I always use 'The Mat'. I am a beginner but I can tell you that with the mat, my results with fondants are getting better and better. It allows me to get fondant super thin and it saves me from the pressure of having to work fast when rolling fondant.

Myself, I pre-coat my cakes with a very thin layer of buttercream, icing, called crumb coating. Then chill the cake again before applying the MMF. This makes for a cleaner, and easier, install. Also, it's a bit easier to reposition the MMF if needed.

HiAfter applying you can freeze the cake BUT if the cake flexes in any way it will crack the image. I/we never freeze the cake after applying the imageHope this helpsBobWhimsical Practicality

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

Never had a problem, use a spray as well. Came out great. You can also use the Wilton Bake Even Strip Set, to wrap around the pan so the cake bakes a even flat top.

This item was a gift to a baker. I presented your question and she stated: I believe it would be fine, but I would not risk it when you could just buy chocolate fondant, coat the mould with powder sugar or corn starch stuff the mould with fondant and freeze 30 minutes. I would love to forward a picture for you to see.

I used regular frosting from the store and it worked just fine. I used a spoon to stuff it in the tube and I was good to go!

That would entirely depend on what kind of cake mix you are baking. Average store bought cake-in-a-box tends to be a little tender and isn't bound enough to hold up to the weight of being dipped in a dense coating of fudge/icing with breaking off with the weight. If you are doing more of a pound cake, dipping might work. I would recommend frosting personally, or heating your frosting to pour onto the cakes directly with them sitting on a colander base to catch the excess. They are adorable little cakes once you finish :)

Yes along as the frosting is still moist. It doesn't work well on already dried frosting as in an already frosted ice cream cake. You would have to add new frosting so it would adhere to frosting then put cake back into freezer. When defrosting you will need to open the box so condensation doesn't discolor picture. Good luck! Butter cream frosting works best.

I can honestly say I have never had an issue with cake removal from this pan. Have made several different types of cakes. I do use "Baker's Joy" cooking spray which I prefer after 40 plus years of cooking, and invert onto a cooling rack no longer than 10 minutes after removal from oven. I know some recipes tell us to let cool, but I have found that to be an issue for removal for me in the past. Be sure pan is completely covered with spray as missing just a spot or two can cause removal issues. Hope this helps!

I have had mine for a while, but used it for the first time last weekend. It worked beautifully on round cakes. I let it cool completely, sliced off the crown and then sliced it into two thin layers for a multilayered cake. The wire slide through the cake like a hot knife through butter. No sawing motion necessary. Sliced four round cakes and had precisision matched layers. Extremely satisfied with performance.

Yes, once it comes to room temperature. It was very easy to apply to the cake too!

I just used non-stick cooking spray. If it still sticks Wilton makes a cake release product you could try.

Yes, I've not done it, however, my friend uses it in baking. I Love this stuff!

yes great for fondant cakes. You might have to LIGHTLY spray the fondant but check that on pintrest.

I use it for all different kinds of baking and chocolate and don't have any problems. I do spray with Pam though if I'm doing cakes just to be safe.

Yes, you could. It's a good store bought product. It cannot compare to homemade MMF; however, it far superior to Wilton. And it smells good. Takes some work to make it pliable, so give yourself some time to knead.
